Customer Reviews
One five-star review said: "Smart and comfortable trousers which I can wear for work and for casual wear too. Good length for petite, not too long or short and I like the fit of the high waist." Another added: "Something comfortable to wear for work with smart tops."
Another five-star review stated: "I love these trousers, so much so I've purchased 3 pairs over the last month! They're so easy to just throw on and they don't need ironing. I went for the shorter length as I think it looks better with sandals."
However, some customers noted issues with length, writing: "Find these easy to wear and easy to wash, and wish they came in more colours. Only issue is the length. Regular and Long length differ by about 2 inches depending on the colour you choose, so need to try on every pair before buying."
A five-star review said: "Bought these linens a couple of weeks ago and they are so comfortable, great length I bought regular and really look good on. I like them so much I've since bought another navy pair and in white too. Great price."
Lastly, one shopper said: "I love these trousers, they're my go-to in the Summer. Easy to wash and iron, perfect for wearing with any top."
